Source description
What this record is.
Fabricated MMI- and Mach–Zehnder-based variable optical attenuators; reported low insertion loss and attenuation ranges of 35 dB and greater than 50 dB respectively.
Archive relevance
Why it was retained.
Physical precedent for the variable optical division/attenuation primitive used by Prototype 01 to route a controlled remainder into the useful packet path and excess into rejection.
This is an external factual reference. Its inclusion supports or tests mechanisms used in Lab 05; it does not establish Station canon and does not demonstrate the complete Prototype 01 architecture.
